We find it so much better, a) we converse, b) we digest our food slower and c) we linger. It&#39;s nice and we enjoy it so I must remember that when we hit the slippery slope of late dinners, wobbly trays and juggling knives and forks with the tv remote.<br />Glad you&#39;re having such a lovely week.Jacquelinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05166927011486659586noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1006976038632583270.post-21392478220581589342016-02-18T07:24:09.013+00:002016-02-18T07:24:09.013+00:00Beautiful post and pictures.

I enjoy sitting down to dinner as a family very much. Although the older boys seem to eat and run these days. I try to bribe them with pudding, so that they stay a little longer.

When your daffodils have finished flowering you could plant them straight into the border letting the foliage die down naturally. Next year they will flower again and you can avoid bulb planting in Autumn when always carries the risk of damaging existing bulbs. Buy fresh bulbs and use fresh compost for your pots in Autumn and you will be able to continue the cycle.
